Funny you post this right about the time I just purchased two separate vintage tubular wheelsets! And they both are centered around OMAS hubsets with TI axles; what are the chances?
Don't have any way to weigh them accurately out here, but I suppose I could do some Interwebz sleuthing and get weights for them at the component level. Not that I want to spend all that time - I'd rather get out and enjoy them
Looking forward to the pics.

I usually use mavic box rims, GL330 & GP4's. If I want a lighter response I lower the spoke count. That said, I have a set of Bora's on one of my steel frames & they feel amazing under it! I'm all for a good set of wheels on a steel frame, can't wait to see!

I never weighed them or intended for them to be light wheight stuff but some of the wheels I had built few years ago seemed pretty light, especially with some of the off the shelf wheels in roughly the same price point.
STX 7spd hubs, DT spokes w/ brass nipples and some type of FIR or ambrosia tubular.
